has also launched the SmartTag 3. The big news here is that, for the first time, it offers cross-OS compatibility, meaning it works with both Galaxy and iOS devices.

This AirTag -like tracker is also 35% smaller and 33% lighter than the
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 , and it offers up to 550 days of battery with standard use or up to 790 days in Power Saving mode.

It also increases the range of Compass View for precision finding, and has a new Place Notification feature that lets you define an area and receive an alert when a tagged item moves in or out of it.

It will be available in both white and black, but youll have to wait a little longer to get your hands on this device than the new tablets, as while its going on sale in South Korea on October 7, it wont go global until sometime
in 2027. Today's best tablet deals Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 1,469 View
